Since taking control of the case last June, in fact, many of her decisions have been so outside the norm that they have come to seem like business as usual. Still, almost no one including some defense lawyers working on the case expected Judge Cannon to kill the documents case by ruling that Jack Smith, the special counsel who filed the indictment, had been unconstitutionally appointed to his job.
Throughout her handling of the documents case in Federal District Court in Fort Pierce, Fla., Judge Cannon, appointed by Mr. Trump, has shown a willingness to grant a serious audience to some of the former president's most far-fetched defense claims, scheduling hearings in court to debate issues that many federal judges would have dealt with based on written filings alone.
